Who's playing: The Reds are looking for their third pre-season victory when they face the Championship side on Sunday. The Merseyside outfit registered wins against Tranmere Rovers and Fleetwood Town in their first two pre-season fixtures. But the match against Wigan will not be an easy one considering the fact that the Latics have some experience playing in the Premier League. They lost to Manchester United 2-0 on Saturday and the last thing they would want to do is to lose against yet another Premier League side.
What time: Sunday 17, 2016 at 7:00 PT, 10:00 EDT, 14:00 UTC, 15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST
